A Chunk Of Solid Sense.

There is no political wisdom apart from
Christian craftsmanship. AS SUCH. it
waits for the solution of many, so-called
problems, rather than attempts prema-
ture and forced settlement of them. The
NEGRO problems" is one of them. After
all that has been written and spoken on
this fruitful theme in the past twenty-five
years, the question stands just where it
did at the close of the war. The solu-
ton that is coming is not by any special,
civil or ecclesiastical Legislation, but it
will work itself out in the use Of just
those means which Christian effort en-
ploys everywhere for the evangelization
Of the ignorant and debased. What the
ignorant American or Chinaman needs is
lust what the ignorant Negro needs
no more, no less. "What about his
social status?" Is that troubling any
body but theorists? Is it practical,
pressing, revolutionary issue2 No
where that we know of. A Negro was
refused membership, few weeks ago, in
Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn. Well, what
of it1 The case is settled by that refusal.
There's an end of it. Associations, COL
leges, churches, families settle this mat
ter for themselves.-A. r. Presbyterian

The True Story Of Cinderella.

There is no fairy tale that is bette.
known or more loved by young reader;
than the story of the poor little cinder
wench, who was so ill treated by her
cruel sisters, had such a delightful
god-mother, with magic wand. and
was SO lucky as to lose her pretty glass
slipper only to gain Prince, and be-
come a Princess thereby.
Looking over an old book. we came
upon an anccdote that is said to have
been the origin of this favorite tale.
Cinderella's real name, it seems, was
Rhodope, and she was beautiful
Egyptian maiden, who lived six hum
dred and seventy years before the birth
of Christ, and during the reign of
Psammeticus, one of the twelve
Kings of Egypt. One day Rhodope
ventured to go in bathing in a
clear stream near her home and
meanwhile left her shoes. which must
nave been unusually small. lying on
the bank. An eagle, passing above.

dals, and installing them for a tooth.

red off one in his beak.
The bird then unwittingly played
the part of fairy god-mother. for. fly
ing dirictly over Memphis, where King
Psammeticus was dispensing JUS
tice. it let the shoe fall right into the
Kings lap. Its size, beauty and dain
tiness Immediately attracted the royal
eye. and the King, determined upon
knowing the wearer of SO cunning a
shoe. sent throughout all his entire
kingdom in search of the foot that
would fit it. As in the story of Gin
derella. the messengers finally discov-
cred Rhodope. fitted on the shoe and
carried her in triumph. to Memphis.
where she became the Queen of King
Psammetichus. and the foundation of
the fairy tale that was to delight boys
and girls twenty-four hundred years
later.-Americdn Agriculturist.
